hey everyone welcome tov another episode of bald guy money you know from time to time I'll speak to people about silver or gold especially when they find out that I have a YouTube channel on the topic and we'll get to talking about some of the coins that are admittedly pretty common that many of these people have just lying around the house that they either didn't know contained silver at all or they thought they were worth far more than they actually are so in this video I am going to show you


all some common coins that many of us have in our collections to tell you exactly how much silver is in these coins in both percentage terms and weight terms how much the pure melt value of the coin is based on the weight and today's silver spot price as well as the market value of the coin to tell you how much you should expect when selling and what a fair price to pay is when buying these coins and to determine that I've consulted multiple online sources just to make sure that the numbers I'm providing are


realistic as always please drop a like or a comment at any time throughout this video to help support this channel in the YouTube algorithm and remember I'm always active in the comments section so feel free to start a discussion with me again at any time during the course of this video now getting into it the first coin I want to cover is this one where is it oh there we go oh I think you can see it really well there yeah this is the Eisenhower dollar a coin that many Americans have lying around


their houses but are really clueless to how much silver content is contained within the coin now what you need to know is that there were three versions of this coin but only two versions are likely to be laying around your house as the 90 Silver version of this coin is pretty rare the first version is the silver coin which was sold as a collector's piece and there's a long story about the coin's Inception you can find it online but what you need to know is that this coin contains 40 Silver and how you can


differentiate it from the circulation version of this coin is by its weight because the Silver version of this coin weighs a total of 24.6 grams versus the circulation version which doesn't contain any silver at all and weighs only 22.7 grams and as you can see here the coins have more numismatic value or collector values than the actual silver content which is about 9.8 grams of silver at a melt value of 7.88 that said you may be able to get anywhere from ten dollars for this coin selling it to a dealer up to twenty


dollars if you find somebody to buy it online the circulation version of this coin on the other hand isn't worth very much you can easily find them around five dollars online and you'd be lucky to get three dollars for it if you wanted to sell it to somebody the next coin some of you may have laying around the house that contains silver is this one can you see it okay there we go this is an old Mexican peso which features a man popularly known to us today as Morelos who was a priest as well as a military leader during the


Mexican War of Independence against Spain in 1811 my particular coin is from 1962 but these were minted between 1957 and 1967 so yours may have a different year on it and as you can see here 10 of the metal content is silver which means it contains 1.6 grams of silver at a melt value of a dollar 28 cents today and as a side note that really shows you the value of silver because one peso today is about six cents so if you're watching this from Mexico I hope you take a lesson from this on the value of


stacking gold and silver of course the coin has some numismatic value today and you can buy them for about five to ten dollars depending on the condition of the coin but I wouldn't expect to get much more than five dollars for it when selling moving back to American coins I have here what's commonly referred to as a Mercury Dime this particular one was minted in 1929 but these were minted starting in 1916 all the way up until 1945. I really like these coins even though they should be called Liberty dimes


because the image of the head with wings is actually a young winged Liberty not Mercury but let's leave that rant for another video this coin is 90 silver its total weight is 2.5 grams some circulated coins uh that are more worn down may come in slightly below 2.5 grams but in general it means that these coins contain 2.25 grams of silver at a melt value of 1.80 today which just as in the Mexico example shows you the value of storing some of your money in metals now these coins are starting to go for


much higher prices than I remember them selling for in the past premiums on them are 20 and up these days meaning for a regular circulated version of this coin you can expect to pay about two dollars 10 cents per piece if you buy in bulk all the way up to about two dollars fifty cents and I personally wouldn't sell one of these beauties for less than two dollars ten cents today maybe two dollars if it's in rough condition now the last coin that I want to cover in this video is one that I have plenty of but I just


don't have a physical one with me today and that is the Canadian Voyager dollar and like the Eisenhower dollar there are two versions of this coin ones that were minted between 1935 and 1967 which were eighty percent silver and ones that were minted from 1968 when the current prime minister of Canada's father became prime minister for the first time that would be Pierre Trudeau and these coins are basically worthless as they are made of nickel and contain no silver at all that said the pre-trudeau coin as I want


to call it because it's actually valuable is a great one with 18.7 grams of silver content at a melt value today of nearly 15 and I want you all to notice the trend here because no matter what country we've covered so far the precious metals currency has retained far more value than its fake counterpart now this is a coin that in my opinion comes with a bit of a hefty premium these days they sell for more than 20 percent above the spot price of the silver value con the silver content value for about eighteen dollars to


nineteen dollars a piece but because they aren't so common these days I think you should expect around 17 to 18 and that's US dollars when you sell them depending on the condition of the coin even though that's the last coin for this video please let me know if you liked this video and if you want me to cover more coins in a future video I would be happy to do a follow-up to this video covering the coins that you want me to include there will be no viewer question in this video because I am running really short


on time today but please leave your questions in the comments section I may cover it in the next video but in the least you can expect expect a reply of some kind from my side in the comments section in text format and remember if you want more bald guy content or just want to support this channel to keep it sponsor free please check out my patreon there is a ton of content there in fact I uploaded a video just last night that takes a deep dive into the CPI where I talk about what I am seeing on the
